A sagging, drooping abdominal wall can be caused by a variety of factors. Genetic predisposition plays a role, as some people naturally have a less firm skin structure, i.e. weak connective tissue. The natural loss of skin elasticity over time is another factor. For women, one of the main causes of sagging abdominal skin is pregnancy, as the abdominal skin stretches to make room for the baby. After birth, the skin is often unable to fully regain its original firmness. Dieting and major weight fluctuations can also cause the skin on the stomach to stretch and lose elasticity, which in turn can lead to a sagging abdominal wall. Whether it is due to a weakness in the connective tissue, following a pregnancy or after weight loss: At AIVA in Berlin, we can restore your firm abdominal skin with a tummy tuck and give you back some quality of life – the before and after comparison will amaze you!
When you can return to sport after an abdominoplasty depends on the type of sport and the level of exertion. Light sporting activities can be resumed after just four weeks, jogging and fitness after another 14 days. High-impact sports such as weight training should be avoided for about three months.
Provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the results of a tummy tuck are generally long-lasting. However, weight fluctuations, pregnancies and other factors can change the abdominal skin again.
The cost of a tummy tuck varies depending on the extent of the procedure and your individual anatomy. During your consultation with us in Berlin, you will receive transparent information about the price of your tummy tuck, which starts at around €8,500.
Yes, a tummy tuck at our clinic in Berlin is possible after pregnancy, with or without a caesarean section. In our experience, many women opt for a tummy tuck to reverse the changes caused by pregnancy by correcting the over-stretching of the abdominal muscles and removing excess skin.
Whether a tummy tuck can be performed with or without surgery depends on the findings. Not every case requires an operation. Depending on the extent of the sagging skin, we may opt for a mini-abdominoplasty or a full tummy tuck. We can also offer the new Renuvion® procedure at our clinic in Berlin, which uses plasma technology to gently tighten the skin.
To make arranging an appointment at AIVA as simple as possible, we offer you an online booking option. We look forward to meeting you!
